He doesn't need to be, he just needs to be soild inside by defending the paint, rebound and block or change some shots. Playing with the big 3 is only going to make things easier for him. He won't need to do much to make an impact there. He will make them a better team. Any improvement on last years centers will make them a better team.

It then leaves Anthony to be there energy guy off the bench which would suit him far better as well.

People easily forget that Joel Anthony is an undersized Center. Dalembert is a legit 6'11". You needs his size when the Miami Heat play against some taller teams in the playoffs.

"If you look at the playoffs with Dallas, you saw what Tyson Chandler did," Dalembert said, referring to the 7-foot-1 center who helped the Mavs beat the Heat in six games for the title last June. "He was basically a key ingredient for them to win a championship. And Miami didn't have somebody like that. Somebody able to stop (foes from) getting second shots and somebody able to rebound and finish. I could fill that role and be an asset for that team."

Dalembert said he's not going to "put my eggs all in one basket" regarding the Heat. So he also named New York and Houston as teams he will consider in free agency.

"All the Haitian people I talk to say, ‘You have to come to Miami,"' Dalembert said.
